Ed PBMC alone on day 0 (Fig. 8a,b). MSCg therapy also substantially lowered the absolute number of divisions underwent by human CD4 T cells (P 0037) (Fig. 8b). This reduction in T cell proliferation couldn’t be as a result of the inhibition of human T cell chimerism within the model following MSC therapy, as not just did human T cells readily engraft, but MSC therapy did not avoid this T cell engraftment (Fig. three). Interestingly, these information also revealed that aGVHD improvement within this humanized mouse model was associated with CD4 as an alternative to CD8 T cell expansion in vivo (Fig. eight).Serum was harvested from all NSG mice in the time of aGVHD improvement (day 12) and analysed for the presence of human IFNg and TNFa. As expected, NSG mice that received PBMC had considerably extra human TNFa present within the serum immediately after 12 days when in comparison to PBS controls (Fig. 8c, P 0027). MSCg cell therapy drastically decreased human TNFa (Fig. 8c, P 0197), but had no considerable effect on the presence of human IFNg inside the serum of NSG mice (Fig. 8d). Collectively, these data suggest that MSC cell therapy within this model acts via the direct suppression of donor T cell proliferation, limiting aGVHD pathology in vivo and minimizing TNFa, a crucial CD4 T cellderived effector molecule in aGVHD [2,39].DiscussionIn this study, a humanized mouse model of aGVHD was developed that permitted the reproducible assessment of human cell therapeutics. Allogeneic human MSC therapy offered on day 7 or IFNg stimulated MSC on day 0 improved the survival of NSG mice with aGVHD. Therapeutic effects of MSC were considerable within the liver and gut of mice with aGVHD, but were not productive within the lung. Examinations of the mechanisms of therapeutic action by MSC within this model revealed that protection was not connected with MSC induction of donor T cell apoptosis, the induction of donor T cell anergy or prevention of donor cell engraftment. In contrast to other models, protection against aGVHD was not linked to MSCdriven expansion of Treg populations, but rather the direct suppressive impact on donor T cell proliferation and reduction of T cellderived human TNFa. This model mimics closely the data observed from current clinical trials and presents a program in which mechanisms of action may be explored. The essential to enhancing existing cell therapies for aGVHD is an understanding with the mechanisms of cell action.
